What do you dislike about the product?

if the systems get to big it will hold you back. The technical environment needed, (on prem, so like VM's and keep those up-and-running is a lot of work. Also automated creation of automated test, should be part of this development environment. It feels great for start, but how do I keep it lean in the future? So I would like more on Operations

We create a SAAS solution for First line healthcare (GP & Pharmacy) Rappid Development is main reason for Outsystems.

What do you like best about the product?

I like how you can easily swap components and your infrastructure, and it also seems to connect systems together. It's valuable to our customers that we can easily speed up development and bring components and applications to production without too much hassle. Not only is the speed great, but also the quality, which is very useful for us at ASR. The initial setup was fairly easy thanks to our partners.

What do you dislike about the product?

I think they can improve, like, the basic CSS stuff styling front ends can improve on that. And also, the 11 capabilities, they can also improve a little bit more I think. But they're really pushing to improve that now.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

OutSystems solves technical issues like data integration, migrating from legacy code to quality low-code, and automating processes.

What do you like best about the product?

The last time I've dabbled in coding was in college in early 2010's, and that was just basic C++.

With OutSystems, there's no pressure in knowing everything- they made coding simpler, easier, and more fun. With simple actions like drag and drop, you can create a web application with just about anything that you can imagine.

And they've made it easier (as if it wasn't as straightforward as before), but they've also integrated AI technology to help in development. With just a few prompts, the AI can help me create a system- point out where I got it wrong, how can I optimize it to be up to standards, and make it better.

But the best thing about OutSystems is the community. Forge components have been essential in helping further enhanced our web applications, and the community is very open and welcoming to newbies- giving insights from their experiences which is of great help to see if others have encountered the same things we have.

What do you dislike about the product?

I don't think I have anything that I dislike about OutSystems so far.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Supreme Court of the Philippines is currently transitioning in digitizing all of our legacy systems- and OutSystems has helped us a lot in this initiative. As of writing, we've already deployed to production a few applications that are being used as internal applications, and some with public facing capabilities that are being used by people nationwide.

Say for example our leave applications. Before we had to physically print and have them signed. But with the application developed in OutSystems, we're able to send our leave applications anywhere, without the need to physically submit a form. Requesting documents is also made easier, and checking of leave credits more accessible- with just a few clicks, we're able to do a lot more.

What do you like best about the product?

The best thing about OutSystems is that it’s easy to use and manage, especially when it comes to user administration and deploying applications. As an infrastructure systems administrator, I don’t need to handle server management; I just monitor the servers and databases using Performance Insights.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing I dislike is the monitoring: I think we need more features to monitor the traffic between applications.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

One project where we use Outsystems is our Human Resource Management system.

Now we just upload scanned documents, like service records, and they are processed by the AI.
